COCHRAN foreman JAMES T. DAVIS ENGINEER F. JEROME HOYT : 40 CITY OF CONCORD REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen The Board of Water Commissioners take pleasure in calling to the attention of the citizens of Concord the report of the Superintendent, Percy R. Sanders, giving in detail the various activities in connection with carrying on the Water Works of the City. The said report includes a very clear statement of the work done and of the amount of money received and how said money received was dis- bursed, showing a very comfortable balance to be brought forward for next year, 1932, amounting to $45,453.97. The successful completion of the well field in North Pembroke, consisting of one hundred and fifty wells, with the erection of the pumping station and installation of equipment, marks the year 1931 as a very important one in the historj^ of the Water Works, established sixty years ago. The Board of Water Commissioners feel that with the completion of the additional water supply, our present water system will take care of the needs of the City for many years to come. The Board of Water Commissioners feel justified in mentioning that Metcalf & Eddy, engineers employed by the City, together with Superintendent Sanders, deserve our favorable commendation for the results obtained and at a very reasonable cost to the City. Respectfully submitted. For the Board of Water Commissioners duly authorized. HARRY H. DUDLEY, President.

Seventy-nine new meters have been set and ten have been discontinued. Very little has been done during the year on distribution lines or other construction. The program of relaying Penacook has been postponed but will be resumed as planned later. The construction and completion of the auxiliary driven well supply in the town of Pembroke bordering the Sou- cook River has made the year one of the most important in the history of the works. In the 1930 report a state- ment was given showing why it was absolutely necessary to procure an additional supply together with the investi- gations made and results obtained which gave the Board confidence to construct a driven well system in the locality recommended by Metcalf & Eddy in their report sub- mitted in 1927. This supply is located in the town of Pembroke on the east side of the Soucook River and north of the North Pembroke Road. The Soucook River is a tributary of the Merrimack which has for its head waters Loon and Shellcamp Ponds in Gilmanton, Rocky and Shaker Ponds in Canterbury, and Clough and Crooked Ponds in Loudon. The area of the watershed above the plant is approxi- mately 82.6 square miles and comprises sections of the towns of Belmont, Gilmanton, Northfield, Canterbury, Loudon, Pembroke, Chichester and Concord. 46 CITY OF CONCORD "Work was started driving the wells November 10, 1930, and was continued through the winter together with laying the suction lines. By February 7, 1931, one hundred wells had been driven and connected. A temporary station was built and pumping was started from the system February 9, 1931, ninety-one days from the start. These wells consist of 2V2-iiich black wrought iron pipe with a Cook No. 30 lead packed top strainer six feet long; top of strainer placed at least 20 feet below ground water level. The average depth of wells is 38.58 feet from sur- face of ground. Each well is connected to the mains with 2i/2-inch wrought iron cement lined pipe with a 2i/'2-inch valve and connection between well and main. The pump in the .temporary station was a used 750 G. P. M. 2-stage Worthington Underwriters Centrifugal fire pump, driven by a 75 H. P. G. E. slip ring motor with a 5'-6" x 8'-0'"' sand and vacuum chamber. A Nash Hytor vacuum pump was used to prime the pump. This pump delivered an average of 750,000 gallons daily into the High Service system until September 29, 1931 when it was dismantled. Plans were made for the new pumping station and equip- ment, also layout for the well field by Metcalf & Eddy and approved by the Water Board. The plant consisting of station with pump room, electric bay, office, heater room and lavatory, and a three stall garage with work shop was built by the Norquist Construction Com- pany, Inc., who started work April 1, 1931. The pumping equipment, the contract for which was awarded to Starkweather & Broadhurst, Inc., consists of three units, two of which are 2-stage Morris Centrifugal pumps, 6-inch suction, 6-inch discharge, connected in series, driven by Westinghouse 125 H. P. motors at a speed of 1740 R. P. ]\I. ; capacity of each unit 1145 gallons per minute with suction lift of 15 feet and discharge head 286 feet at an overall efficiency of 69.7%. WATER DEPARTMENT 47 The third unit is a 3-stage Morris Centrifugal pump con- nected in series, driven by a 175 H. P. Sterling Dolphin gas engine, 1200 R. P. M., 1145 gallons per minute. The vacuum and priming system consists of a vertical vacuum and sand chamber, 6 feet in diameter and 12 feet high with two sets of 24-inch gage glasses and controls. These controls are four float operated pilot switches as- sembled in cast iron float chambers to operate on rise and fall of water in tank. The priming pumps are two Nash Vacuum Hytor pumps, bronze fitted, each with a capacity of 23 cubic feet of air at a vacuum of 10 inches, and SYo cubic feet at 20 inches. These priming units can be operated singly or together as occasion requires. The building was so far completed with installation of equipment that pumping was started September 29, 1931 and has been operated continuously since that time with the exception of a week or ten days when the pumps were shut down to be painted. The pumps are operated alternately and the gas pump once a week for a period of an hour. The station is run on three shifts of eight hours each. All the water for the High Service is now being pumped from this plant, averaging 1,060,000 gallons daily on a 161/^ hours run. Since pumping from the wells we have drawn, to December 31, 1931, 256 million gallons of water from them, equal in depth to 2^2 feet on Penacook Lake. Early in the year it was decided to drive 50 additional wells, making 150 in all. Work was started on these June 2 and completed July 2, 1931. Two drilling outfits were used in all the driving. All the construction with the exception of the building and installation of pumps was done by the "Water Works employees. The plumbing and heating were installed by Orr & Rolfe Co., and the power wiring by the Reliable Wiring Co. The 48 CITY OF CONCORD following comment is made by the New Hampshire Board of Fire Underwriters, "The electrical equipment is one of which any community may well be proud." The City purchased approximately 95.5 acres of land, 55.5 acres on the Pembroke side of the river and 40 acres on the Concord side of the river. The well field comprises an area approximately 1680 feet long and 720 feet wide, 27.76 acres. This averages 8000 sq. ft. for each well. A road has been built from the North Pembroke Road to the plant so that it is easily reached. SUMMARY OF COST OF PEMBROKE WELL SUPPLY 1930, 1931, 1932 Test Wells, WATER DEPARTMENT 49 Roadway, Land, 50 CITY OF CONCORD Penaeook Lake has continued at a low stage during the year, the lowest level being reached March 6, 173.70, 11.3 feet below the overflow and 4.2 feet above the intake; the highest level was reached June 8, 177.90 a rise of 4.2, 7.1 feet below the overflow and 7.1 feet above the intake. The average height for 1931 was 175.95, 2.4 feet lower than for 1930. The height of water January 1, 1932 was 176.70 a rise of 1 foot since December 12. The drop in the Lake in 1930 was 6.9 feet and in 1931 2.2. The value of the new plant is shown by these figures as otherwise we should have been dangerously near if not below the intake. On December 17, 1930, the gates between the Penaeook and Boscawen Water Works and Concord system were opened and water was purchased from them at the rate of approximately 150,000 gallons daily supplying Penaeook and West Concord to the north side of Hutchins Street until August 9, when the gates were closed. It has not been necessary at any time to curtail con- sumers on the use of water, the only restrictions imposed were on flushing streets and flooding skating rinks. Analyses of the water from the wells so far have shown such slight traces of iron as to be negligible. With most driven well systems throughout New England presence of iron has caused a great deal of trouble and it has been nec- essary to resort to aeration, coke filtration and sand filtra- tion to free the water of its iron content. The following analyses of Penaeook Lake and the Pembroke wells water as given by the New Hampshire State Board of Health are given to show the comparison.

All repairs were attended to as required and eight new boxes purchased from the appropriation for the preceding year, were installed. A few localities still exist in which fire protection can be improved by the installation of boxes. The overhead parallel lines from the city sheds to St. Paul 's School were replaced by overhead cable. I respectfully recommend the purchase of one thousand feet of hose during the present year. It is with extreme regret that I report the loss, by death, to this Department, of three valuable men during the year. For the privilege afforded me of attending the convention of the International Fire Chiefs held at Havana, Cuba, during October a report of which was rendered at that time, I wish to return my sincere thanks.

To the Board of Public Works : Gentlemen : On January 1, 1931, the highway depart- ment was consolidated with the Engineering department, and the following is the yearly report of the various sub- divisions of the department Engineering Appropriation, $5,385.00 Expended, 5,372.74 Balance, $12.26 An itemized account of all work and expenditures is kept on a card system, which we will be pleased to show and ex- plain to all interested parties. Thirty plans and 1,457 blue prints were made; 5924 feet of grade stakes were set ; 409 transfers of property were recorded ; 2.191 miles of street were laid out in 1931, bring- ing the total mileage of streets and roads in the entire city up to 180.698 miles. The deed book of Blossom Hill Cemetery showing trans- fers of lots was brought up to January 1, 1932. The employees of this department have been : Edward E, Beane, assistant engineer ; C. Fred Moulton and Paul Chat- tock, rodmen; Frances Richardson, clerk, and Frank S. Merrill, accountant, all of whom have rendered valuable service to the city. : engineering department 73 Sewers Appropriation, $15,000.00 Receipts, 1,686.29 $16,686.29 Expended 16,624.90 Balance, $61.39 Sewers were constructed in the following streets Noyes Street, 124 feet Mountain Road, East Concord, 1356 " Prison sewer outlet (change of alignment), 294 " 1,774 feet Twenty-two catch basins were built and connected ; 22 manholes were built. There were 123 private pipe plugs and 46 main line plugs which were immediately removed. There were 35 house connections laid, A detailed account of every job, bill, etc., is kept in this office. In April, 1931, the Chevrolet dump truck was traded in for a one and one-half ton, dual wheel Chevrolet dump truck. During the construction of Gulley Hill, so-called, there was 3794 feet of sewer laid, which takes it from the Merri- mack river to the South Pembroke road. This was built jointly between the city of Concord and State of New Hampshire. The total mileage of sewers built in 1931 was 1.054. 42.855 engineering department 75 Trees Receipts, 1,117.09 Appropriation, $6,000.00 $7,117.09 Expended, 7,110.43 Balance, $6.66 The care of trees is handled by forces under Foreman J. Henry Jordan. The work involved has been the removing of dead trees and branches, and the removing of brown tail and gypsy moths from the trees in the streets and on private property. The work on private land was charged to the OM^ner, and it is evident from the number of complaints as to the cost of removing these pests on private property, that it would lead us to believe that the property owners should care for their own trees. Garbage Other than Table Garbage Appropriation, $35,000.00 Receipts, 106.44 $35,106.44 ' Expended, 35,102.08 Balance, $4.36 This work is done by our regular forces, and our method of collecting seems to be satisfactory. Table Garbage Appropriation, $4,360.00 Expended, 4,360.00 The collection of table garbage is done by contract. Bert C. Holt has the contract for collection of the city proper at $4,C00 per year, and Eugene Vezina the contract for collection in Penacook at $360 per year. : 76 city of concord Roads and Bridges Appropriation, $200,000.00 Receipts, 13,305.89 $213,305.89 Expended, 205,637.59 Balance, $7,668.30 Construction 6.49 miles of streets were built and given two applications of tar. 4.77 miles of gravel roads were built.

This department works in conjunction with the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and 23 cases were referred to them. For the courtesy extended me by Mayor Robert W. Brown, your board, the contractors and citizens, I wish to express my appreciation. Respectfully submitted, FRED W.

The trustees welcome the addition to the Board of Mr. Woodbury E. Hunt, who represents Ward Four. Respectfully submitted, WILLIS D. THOMPSON, President of the Board of Trustees. ) REPORT OF THE CITY LIBRARIAN FOR 1931 To the Board of Trustees of the Concord Pxiblic Library : Gentlemen : It is generally accepted as an instance of cause and effect that when times are dull, a public library- is well patronized. Certainly in the depressed 1931 this library had a record circulation, the largest in the thirty- seven 3'ears of which the present librarian has kept the count. 111,544 is a big figure for a small library, yet that is the number of volumes charged out at the circulation desk during the past twelve months. Add to that patronage the 5,055 inquirers who came to the reference room and our business totals 116,599. But the fact that men and women have had an unusual number of unemployed hours has not been the sole cause of our gain of 13,328 in circulation. (It ought perhaps to be interpolated here that this increase w^as in the reading of fiction rather than non-fiction, but that is not surprising if people were desirous of cheering their thoughts. A prominent factor in rolling up these additional thou- sands has been the large, pleasant Branch Room in Fifield's store at Penacook, which has been a successful undertaking, and the Woman's Club of Penacook can congratulate itself that it was instrumental in bringing this Branch into exist- ence. On the Tuesday and Friday afternoons when it is open from 2:30 to 5 o'clock, 10,843 books were given out in 1931. Members of the Club and members of our staff alternate in tending the Branch and charging the volumes which the 530 registered borrowers in Ward 1 choose from the 1060 now on the ofTen shelves. These include many wanted by pupils using the Hartford Reading List and many new publications requested by adults who are engaged in the Congregational and Baptist Church R-eading Contests. : ;; 84 CITY OF CONCORD East Concord continues to have a Deposit Station at Stuart's store. The West Concord Library has the efficient care of its founders, Rev. and Mrs. Franklin C. Thompson we loan it books and get the credit of their circulation. This is the case also v^dth several school-rooms which ask for helpful outside reading and which at the end of terms report to us how much it has been used. Emphasis may well be laid on the fact that the mounting quantity of work has to be done under hampering conditions ior example, it would facilitate our branch and school jobs and the collection of over-due books if an automobile were ever at our service ; and within the Library proper there is the drawback of countless interruptions ; for the small staff cannot be differentiated and the four assistants turn their hands to so many kinds of tasks that their pens and paste- brushes are generally arrested in mid-air as they jump to wait on a customer. The first thing Monday morning is to send out duns for the return of books kept over time, and last year 4000 of these reminder postals were written. To handle the larger business of 1931 a few more hun- dred dollars were spent and .^260. 00 in insurance policies became due, thus bringing the expenses of this City Department to $10,667.61. The different items are as follows Salaries .$5,949.84 Books and periodicals 2,029.53 Binding 701.05 Printing 127.45 Fuel and light 858.95 Incidentals 1,000.79 The sum of $459 was received for fines from delinquent borrowers the past year. : PUBLIC LIBRARY 85 New borrowers registered to the number of 1,233 ; of these 475 were of school age. During 1931, 1,400 volumes were added to the accession book Those purchased 1,255 Gifts 98 Bound magazines 47 There were worn out and discarded 600 volumes ; net gain therefore was 800, and this brings the total number on the library 's shelves to 40,805. Miss Mary Dennett, who is the head and front of the Reference Department, has had her largest year of meet- ing rational and irrational inquiries. When debates are undertaken by school teams, every last item which may assist them is routed out by Miss Dennett, whose patience equals her thoroughness. The Vacation Reading Club was ably conducted for six summer weeks by Miss Ruth Melvin and Miss Marion Holt. It was rivaled by a Church Vacation School and therefore had about half the enrollment of 1930 ; but the boys and girls who read and reported upon recommended books were rewarded with diplomas, prizes and a closing party. A bulletin board has been added to our central room and Miss Josephine Brown will see to it that it bears not only items of literary value like reviews and pictures of authors but notices of general local interest such as the Currier Art Gallery exhibits, programs for George Wash- ington celebrations, etc., etc. Miss Brown's intelligent care extends itself also to securing the prompt arrival of our 75 periodicals and to the impartial distribution of mate- rial among the various reading circles. Two library meetings in 1931 were of especial enjoy- ment. In June the American Library Association held a week's Conference in New Haven. I was fortunate 86 CITY OF CONCORD enough to be quartered in the beautiful Harkness Quad- rangle. Yale's seven million library just completed gave the opening reception to the two thousand librarians in attendance. Last September our state association met in Hanover, and the new and old attractions of Dartmouth College were the background for our professional sessions. In this coming June New Hampshire is to be the hostess state to a regional meeting taking in New Hampshire and New Jersey. It will be held in the White Mountains, will be wide open to trustees—and hoping to meet you all there ! ! ! I am, respectfully, Grace Blanchard, City Lihrai^an. : POOR DEPARTMENT SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OVER- SEER OF THE POOR For the Year Ending December 31, 1931 To the Board of Aldermen : The undersigued herewith submits the sixty-fourth an- nual report of the expenditures for the poor, including Wards One and Two, for the year ending December 31, 1931 CITY Total amount reimbursed by County, POOR DEPARTMENT 89 rents, 128.00 board and care, 801.00 care, children, 432.35 shoes, 3.96 miscellaneous, 5.00 $1,734.91 Total amount paid for aid to soldiers, $4,057.00 Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR E.

The stone wall on the High Street boundary of White Park was continued, and eventually the wall will be built the entire length of the park on High Street. At Rollins Park, the work of cleaning out the underbrush was continued, and the decayed tops of several pine trees were cut off. This removed a menace to the swimming pool during days of high winds. The collection of water fowl at White Park still continues a great attraction. ROBERT W. BROWN, Mayor, WILLIS D. THOMPSON, JR., WILL J. DREW, GARDNER G. EMMONS, CHARLES L. JACKMAN, B. C. WHITE, ALPHEUS M. JOHNSON, Fark Commissioners. HEALTH DEPARTMENT Reports of the Sanitary Officer and Milk Inspector Mayor- Brown, Board of Health and Board of Aldermen : Gentlemen : The annual report and summary of the Health Department for 1931 is herewith submitted. The year just closed has been remarkably free from con- tagious diseases, fewer cases being reported than in many years past. The total number of deaths in the city were four hundred seventy-two : two hundred ninety-nine of these were in the institutions of the citj^, the majority of which were non-resident. The venereal disease clinic is held weekly under the super- vision of the State and local Boards of Health. Mrs. Ada Parsons assists Dr. Chancey Adams at the clinics and he reports several cases of long duration as being discharged. Since the toxin-anti-toxin clinics for the prevention of diphtheria have been held, Ave have inoculated nearly three thousand children and it is most gratifying to note that only one child of school age has been reported as having the disease and that one had not received the immunizing treat- ment. Dr. Charles H. Parsons has been in charge of this work being assisted by Mrs. Gladys Benson and Mrs. George- ana Mansur. We greatly appreciate their help and are indebted to the Concord District Nursing Association and to the School Board for their hearty co-operation and inter- est taken. Regular insj^ections of the alleyways about the city are made and a decided improvement shown. Nuisances and complaints have been investigated and abated. Twenty-five HEALTH DEPARTMENT 97 cats and dogs which had died or had been killed and whose owners were nnknown were removed from streets or yards. I wish to express my thanks to the members of the Board of Health for their help and co-operation throughout the year. Kespectfully submitted, CHARLES E. PALMER, Sanitary Officer. : 98 CITY OF CONCORD C0NTAGI0U15 DISEASES The following table shows the number of contagious diseases reported during each month of the year, and the deaths resulting therefrom C8 Months : HEALTH DEPARTMENT 99 COMPARATIVE TABLE The following table contains the number of cases of con- tagious diseases and the deaths resulting therefrom for the year since and including 1921 100 CITY OF CONCORD SUMMARY Total number of deaths, 472 Total number of still births not included in deaths, 13 Visits made to contagious diseases, 320 Burial permits issued, 586 Burial permits issued for interment of bodies brought here, 114 Transit permits issued, 249 Number of reports sent to State Board of Health, 52 Number of reports sent to the Surgeon-General, Pub- lic Health and Marine Hospital Service, 52 Number of samples of water collected for analysis, 3 Number of nuisances, complaints investigated, 105 Number of rooms, cellars, school rooms fumigated, 63 Number of bundles of clothing fumigated, 1 Number of hospital wards fumigated, 5 Number of barber shops and beauty parlors inspected, 23 Number of restaurants and bakeries inspected, 11 Number of school buildings inspected, 16 Number of boarding houses for children inspected, 3 Number of visits made to parks and swimming pools, 3 REPORT OF THE MILK INSPECTOR Herewith is submitted for your approval a summary of a report of the work done by the Milk Inspection Division of the Board of Health in the Bacteriological Laboratory and Field during the year 1931 annual report.

To the Mayor and Board of Aldermen The Committee on Public Playgrounds is glad to report a busy and useful season. Perhaps because of the current depression, more children than ever before have attended the various public playgrounds. To those children who are unable to leave the city during the summer season, these play areas are places of safety, handwork education, and constructive physical activities. Mr. Paul Crowell was elected director for a second year. He ably planned the program for the sixteen instructors. A special swimming instructor and life saver was in charge at the Soucook River Pool. Early in the season of 1931, a petition was received from interested baseball j^layers and fans in West Concord asking that a baseball diamond be laid out on the lot north of the cemetery. This petition was granted and this ballground has been satisfactory and popular. The old school building on the playground on the corner of West and South State Streets was, during the summer, almost a menace, but through the negotiations of this com- mittee it was demolished in the fall. As soon as weather permits the remaining concrete will be removed and the entire playground re-conditioned. Co-operating with a municipal civic beautification com- mittee, several hundred trees were planted on different areas by playground officials. The usual preparations for winter sports have been made. Not all petitions for sliding protected sections could pos- sibly be granted. A new venture, at White Park, is the cleaning of skating area by boys interested in skating. Through the co-operation of Police Officer Andrews, this has been a very happy and successful way of keeping ice in : 104 CITY OP CONCORD condition. A heated room, formerly a tool shed, has proved of great convenience to skaters. The committee has continued its supervision of the Chand- ler School. This building is used continuously by the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars and the Concord Girl Scouts. In these days of special economy, this committee has endeavored to fill the greatest playground needs under a small annual budget. The playground having the helpful co-operation of families in that particular section, is the most successful playground. So much might well be accom- plished, without the expenditure of the city's money, by those who fully appreciate the value of recreational fa- cilities. This committee wishes to stress the fact, that play- grounds belong to certain districts, but only as that same district feels its own responsibility in protecting city prop- erty can that playground be a thing of usefulness or of beauty. President Hoover sent the following message to the chil- dren of the playgrounds of this country To the Boys and Girls of America -. Two and a half million of you are playing today in the playgrounds of nearly a thousand cities. Your elders rejoice with you in your fun and freckles, your sports and games and all that goes into making you happy and healthy boys and girls. Your zest in life is a precious possession and your laughter makes a joyous chorus throughout the land. Thousands of devoted men and women under the leadership of the National Recreation Association have labored for a quarter of a century to provide the play- grounds which you enjoy. We rejoice with you and with them in this boon to the boyhood and girlhood of our country. Yours faithfully, HERBERT HOOVER.
